I remember that my grandmother used to own a manual meat grinder when I was a toddler. We have an electric one now, but it is seldom used, so I think it was a wasted investment. We don't need that much ground meat.

We went to see the underground river in Palawan, Philippines last year. I was a bit scared because it was densely dark, with only the spotlights on the canoe lighting everything. But the rock formations are really awesome.

We went to a holiday resort last year that had a salt water pool. It was an alternative to swimming in the sea, and it was better without the waves and with the even depth. I liked it a lot, since I am not a very good swimmer.

When the children don't know yet the intricacies of fishing and how to keep quiet, it is impossible to go fishing. You have to teach them first.

I always sleep in a hammock strung in a shade at midday when camping. Can't take it inside the tent at night because it is crowded.

I don't allow eating any kind of food in the sleeping area at home or in the camp. No good being awakened by ants biting you and crawling over you.

I think that would be lovely if the mosquitoes and bugs are absent. But the morning dew and the cold dawn would have me scampering for cover inside the tent.

There are phrases that goes: "Rainbow in the morning, sailors take warning." Of course you have to watch the clouds. Cirrus clouds mean fair weather.

It is impossible to keep the inside of the tent as clean as we would like it to be especially when there are young ones with us.

Before we leave for the camp, chores are assigned to everyone. But after the tent is pitched, the assigned chores are forgotten. The husband and I do most work.

When you are learning scuba diving, do they take you to the deep sea for your lessons immediately? Isn't it scary? Don't you get cold feet?

That's great! Glad we met here and we will miss you! But it's good to hear that it's full time work that would keep you from coming here. Good luck!

They have to get used to hiking first. Short trips would get them used to it. Inject fun and interest so they won't get bored or feel tired.

Better stay inside the tent if there is no imminent danger of a falling branch. It might be more dangerous to move from the tent to the car.

First time I heard about night hunting! It would be harder to see your prey at night. They would sense your presence first and that could be dangerous.

Have you ever experienced being in a group that made a new trail? How is it done? If you get lost in spots, what happens to the trail?

Just the mention of alligators make my hair stand. I think if I encounter one in real life, I'd faint outright and won't know if it eats me alive.

Living in the city for most of my life, I've never been in any of those off-road adventures. Seems like good fun though I think you get a bumpy ride.

I have made hikes without gear when I was younger, but only on short trails and near our home. Not without water or a head cover now.

I always bring a malongwith me whenever we go out camping. It is handy as a blanket and as a "dressing room" to ensure privacy when changing.
